Re: CSquestion about Potassium Hydroxide
Yes, pharmacists who know what they are doing will do this, and will also refuse to sell you certain things if they think it is dangerous. But it can sometimes backfire. When I was a preteen I was playing with starches and dyeing of starches as well as ph indicator solutions. For those who remember elementry school science/chemistry, you use the iodine test to test for starch. And ammonia and vinager are two easy to obtain substances for playing with ph and ph indicating solutions. Anyway, I tried buying some iodine and ammonia from a drug store and at first the druggest refused to sell it to me. I had to explain what I was doing with it first. So he sold it to me and warned me to never mix them together or it would make a contact high explosive. Well, that of course is exactly what I did with it after he gave me that information I did not know about before his warning.

RE: CSquestion about Potassium Hydroxide
Nenah, Go to a local drugstore (independent pharmacists are usually more cooperative) and talk with the pharmacist; ask his advice as to whether he'd recommend ordering for you a pint of Galliput Potassium Hydroxide 50%(KOH) or 454 Gm of KOH Pellets (N.F.) which is medicinal grade (which is better than food grade). I would recommend the pint of Sol and ask him to demonstrate to you how to measure and drop into your solution. If the pharmacist is worth his or her salt and if they want your business, they'll be glad to provide the info, order it and demonstrate how to use properly. If not, then you went to the wrong store and need to find one that will. Be AWARE: KOH is caustic and will burn the skin or eyes so should be used VERY carefully with rubber gloves and Protective Eye Shield (which you can easily make with a sheet of heavy plastic like 2 HP Inkjet cartridges come in).

I called a couple of chemical companies today about Potassium Hydroxide for the CS. Here's what I found out: 1) P.H. is not made as a food grade item. 2) There is one way of making it that is the equivalent of food grade, but they cannot say for internal consumption on the label. To those of you who put P.H. in your distilled water before adding the silver electrodes to make your CS, I am wondering: (1) Which grade of P.H. do you use, and (2) how much of a 10% P.H. solution (drops) would you use for about 1 gallon of CS? The company that makes the purer stuff wants to put me through a 2-day screening process, and I don't want to wait. The company selling the cheaper stuff will send it out to me right away. If purity doesn't matter, then I will buy the cheaper stuff. So I'd appreciate feedback ASAP. Many thanks. Nenah -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.

Re: CSquestion about Potassium Hydroxide
Regarding hydrogen ions, a man named Vinny Pinto (see rawpaleodiet.com) seems to know a great deal about these. Those wishing to learn more might do well to read his materials, and also to join the emhealth group on Yahoo.

I don't think product comes close to Alpha Omega Labs bio-energized potassium hydroxide ( bio-energized using scalar technology, which certainly doesn't have scientifically proven effects ), but in the end, we're still just dealing with hydrogen ions.
